Go-Go's - We Got The Beat (Live in Central Park '01)

from "Live in Central Park" June 22, 2001
Lyrics:
See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
But they're walking in time
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
They got the beat
See the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
Kids got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
Kids got the beat
Go-Go music really makes us dance
Do the Pony puts us in a trance
Do the Watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Yeah
We got the beat

One of the best rock bands to ever come out of the 80's. I still have their Beauty and the Beat album.

65 years old and still rock'n gota love Belinda Jane Kathy Gina Charlotte

Do you still fit into it?

[@jimmyjam6764]

no joke i have like 11 different favorite parts of this video. 37 yrs old just found these girls and BOY am i blown away!!!!

[@paulholmes8398]

Yeah I only discovered them a few years ago. I obviously knew Belinda but never knew about her first band The Go Go's they talk about girl power it's not a recent thing. These gal's have been doing it for decades. Performing the songs they wrote playing all the instruments not many all female groups doing that if at all. Love them all had a massive crush on Belinda forever now crushing on her band too especially the bass guitarist.

[@retrorock3606]

Congratulations girls you finally got nominated for rnroll hall of fame,I,ve been saying for years you are underrated, your live performance shows the chemistry you all have. I love the vibes between Kathy and Gina you can see and feel it in the accents in the hooks when Kathy is kickassing a riff Gina is right there with her love from old rocker Al downunder

[@patrickdaly5068]

I love The Go gos! What a performance, and I miss the 80s!

These ladies are badass. What a great song and performance

[@oldfriend327]

I always loved that Fender 22 fret "Long Horn" version Jazz Bass. Now absolutely have to have one, and preferably red like hers. This band never get old. Thank you ladies for decades of amazing music to help us get through our lives.

[@jeffharder8706]

I’m kind of partial to the sparkling silver bass she uses a lot. That just screams rockstar lol

[@pounebahrampour9560]

The Go-Go's were inducted into The 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday night October 30, 2021. The Go-Go's didn't have any musical masterplan. Punks at the start, they became rock and roll pioneers.

[@jamescrouse3779]

Love the Go Go’s! Still crushing on Charlotte! Dang great sound and Kathy just killed it!

[@artvandelay8090]

I never knew what she was saying after "jump back." But then in every concert, she bends down and hits the ground with her hand and it becomes clear that she's saying "hit ground." Round and round and round.....WOOOOOOOO! Now that I've figured that out, I can work on solving the rest of the world's problems.

[@dannymanny6917]

That bassist, oh mama!!

[@ray.shoesmith]

Kathy Valentine. The way she moves around that bass guitar makes you want to be one tbh. And those smouldering eyes 🥵

[@frodriguez1969]

What a great drumming at 1:36!
